...proclaimed the beginning of the space age, the U.S.S.R. celebrated the anniversary by announcing a far more advanced step into space: a rocket shot that this week sent a 600-lb. instrumented payload hurtling into space on a trajectory calculated to curve around the moon and swing back toward the earth. The moon probe (see SCIENCE) required a rocket thrust of at least 600,000 Ibs., twice the thrust of the U.S.'s most powerful rocket engine. The Soviet feat was all the more embarrassing to the U.S. because U.S. spacemen had been forced to postpone their moon shot...
...sometime General Electric executive, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, headed by T. Keith Glennan, engineer, ex-Hollywood studio manager and president-on-leave of Cleveland's Case Institute of Technology. Neither ARPA nor NASA has enough authority or resources to set long-range goals and march toward them.

My public relations girl grabbed me firmly by the wrist, plowed through his retinue of friendly brigands and their assorted hardware, and deposited me in front of Fidel...
Harvard students and faculty display an impressive homogeneity in their liberalism. The Corporation's suspension of the NDEA funds, the CRIMSON'S feature articles and editorials leveled against the "loyalty oath," and the obvious widespread student agreement with the same indicate an unusually common attitude toward the current issue. There is no controversy as there was two years ago and, consequently no real action. That is to say that since we all individually believe in, and affirm the rightness of opposition to the loyalty oath, we feel that our personal moral responsibilities have been met. But does not a social...
